Hi,

JMS adapters are used to send or receive JMS messages to some JMS queues. XI supports

JMS queue service provided by SoniqMQ, IBM Webspehere, JNDI access , etc. So, if you want

send/ receiver message from a JMS service, you will have to go for a JMS queue.

RFC adapters are used to call remote functions. There might be cases when you have some

ABAP progam or any RFC to which you send some information and expect some response back.

In these cases, an RFC adapter is used.

For more info on RFC and JMS adapters, check these links,

Hi

>>What are the functions of JMS Adapter and RFC Adapter and which scenario these adapters should be used in

The JMS adapter (Java Message Service) enables you to connect messaging systems to the Integration Engine or the PCK.

The RFC adapter enables you to use the functions of the Integration Engine or the PCK in existing SAP landscapes. It is used by SAP systems to connect to the Integration Engine or the PCK by using the RFC interface. It supports SAP systems as of version 3.1x.

>>What are functions of Industry specific adapters RosettaNet and CDIX ?

RNIF adapters support the data communication standard – RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) defined by RosettaNet. This standard defines RNIF protocols version 1.1 and 2.0. The RNIF adapters 1.1 and 2.0 are based on these protocols.

>> what is Proxies?

There are various options for connecting systems to the Integration Server one of them is proxies.Proxies encapsulate the creation or parsing of XML messages and the communication with the relevant runtime components required to send or receive the messages.
